Sutton Foster - Not for the life of me/nyc/astonishing lyrics

I studied all the pictures in magazines and books I memorized the subway map too It's one block north to Macy's and two to Brothers Brooks Manhattan, I prepared for you You certainly are different from what they have back home Where nothing's over three stories high And no one's in a hurry or wants to roam But I do, though they wonder why... NYC Just got here this morning Three bucks Two bags One me NYC I give you fair warning Up there In lights I'll be Go ask the Gershwins or Kaufman and Hart The place they love the best Though California pays big for their art Their fan mail's still addressed to NYC Tomorrow a penthouse That's way up high Tonight The "Y" Why not? It's NYC Too hot Too cold Too late I'm sold Why not... Here I go And there's no turning back My great adventure has begun I may be small But I've got giant plans To shine as brightly as the sun I will blaze until I find my time and place I will be fearless, surrendering modesty and grace I will not disappear without a trace I'll shout and start a riot Be anything but quiet Christopher Columbus, I'll be astonishing Astonishing Astonishing At last
